Part 16
Information about the demon and an image in this link: blessed be the great Wikipedia
Four steps later he encountered another dreadful demon. Was he going to have to spend the rest of his life battling hordes of these creatures?
The answer is probably "Yes", but he was in luck! The moon's phase had shifted! So violence was NOT the only possible course of action he could take! He now could negotiate with the apparitions!
Copypasted from Wikipedia:
"A ghost is usually defined as the apparition of a deceased person which frequently carries the deceased person's likeness and is experienced in association with the person's former habitats. The word "ghost" may also refer to the spirit or soul of a deceased person, or to any spirit or demon.[1][2] Ghosts are often associated with haunting, which is, according to the Parapsychological Association, "The more or less regular occurrence of paranormal phenomena associated with a particular locality (especially a building) and usually attributed to the activities of a discarnate entity; the phenomena may include apparitions, poltergeist disturbances, cold drafts, sounds of steps and voices, and various odors."[1]
Ghosts are controversial phenomena. According to a 2005 poll by the Gallup Organization, about 32% of Americans believe in ghosts.[3] The term ghost has been replaced by apparition in the scientific field of parapsychology, because the word ghost is deemed insufficiently precise.[4]"
